Restore unto me my first love
Breathe new life on these dry bones
My tears have been my food today
Oh I need You Lord
It’s Your truth that frees me
And in Your peace You lead me
And with Your blood You purchased me
You laid down Your life for me
Jesus light of the light
You’ve pierced the heart
Of my darkness
The flame has grown dim
Breathe tonnegues
Of fire on me again
Be my cloud by day
And my fire by night
Lead me again
Show me Lord
What the cross really means
And how much it cost You
To die for my sins
My eyes should never be dry
And I should walk upon my knees
To deny myself and give it all
Come nearer to me
Just one touch is all that I need
To breathe the breath
Only You can breathe
I can’t see You in the fire
I can’t hear You in the wind
But with Your still small voice
You beckon me
You beckon me in
